This happened just an hour ago or so. Went in to a local grocery shop and grabbed some carrots, oranges and bananas. Paid in cash and went out my way to put everything in my bicycle’s panniers and… there she was going in her own bicycle. It was like in the Fellowship of the Ring when the hobbits see Arwen. At that very instant I saw her face my jaw dropped, almost literally, and I think she noticed I was mesmerized or something because she did a gesture of like trying to look my way but doing a gesture of “what a creep” or something. After 5 seconds or so she was gone and most probably I won’t ever see her again.

How do you get over something like that? I’m still so mesmerized I can’t believe a human being so ridiculously gorgeous can exist in the same plane as an ugly weirdo like me.

    Appreciate her beauty and remember it is ephemeral. With a few exceptions, all of us look mid at best by 50, let alone 70. Beauty is beautiful to look at. I appreciate beauty, but I wouldn’t trade my wife for the most beautiful woman in the world.

    My uncle has a way of putting this: no matter how great a woman is, someone, somewhere, is sick of her shit. I generously assume he also meant for that to apply with the genders reversed.
